About

I am Certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a Matrimonial Law Attorney, which is a special designation afforded to certain attorneys only after acceptance of a lengthy and rigourous application and testing process by the Supreme Court of New Jersey; I practice exclusively in the area of matrimonial and family law. My practice includes all aspectss of family law, including but not limited to issues of custody, child support, child support, spousal support, equitable distribution, enforcement of prior court orders, non-dissolution matters, and domestic violence. I am admitted to practice law in the States of New Jersey, New York, Florida, and the District of Columbia. I have completed The Institute for Family Law Associates training course in Chicago, Illinois offered by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers. In 2005, I also successfully completed the ABA Family Trial Advocacy Institute program held in Houston, Texas. I have been repeatedly appointed to the New Jersey State Bar Association, Family Law Section Executive Committee (FLEC), and have wide exposure as a lecturer and moderator. In 2007, 2008, 2010 - 2015, I was nominated consistently by my professional peers and selected as one of the Top Young Lawyers in the State of New Jersey by Super Lawyers in the New Jersey Monthly Magazine. From 2011 to 2015, I was also selected and featured as one of Bergen County's Top Lawyers in the area of Family Law by the prominent 201 Magazine and recognized as an 'excellent' attorney by Avvo, with a 10 rating. I obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Florida with concentrations in Criminal Justice and a minor in Mass Communication. I was also a member of Florida Blue Key, a prestigious statewide leadership organization and an active participant and member in Student Government and Vice President of Alpha Epsilon Phi Sorority. I was also inducted into several honor society fraternities. However, as any University of Florida Gator, or acquitance of a UF Gator knows, I remain an active Alumnus of the University and a dedicated and loyal Gator fan -"Go Gators!" I then attended the University of Miami School of Law in Coral Gables, Florida where I received a Juris Doctorate. While at the University of Miami, I was a member of the University of Miami's law intern program where I worked at Legal Aid of Dade County in the Family Division. I then moved to the New Jersey/New York Metropolitan area in 2001, and immediately began practicing in the area of Family Law. Prior to opening my own law firm, I was an associate at another large and prominent firm in Bergen County. However, I opened my own firm upon realizing that I wanted better client relations and continued dedication to the practice of family law. We handle all issues involved in divorce & family law, including but not limited to custody, child support, alimony, equitable distribution, removal, modification of court orders, prenuptial agreements, domestic violence, and International child abduction. In my spare time, I am an aspiring Latin dancer enjoying most of my time taking lessons in Hustle and Salsa and am currently learning West Coast Swing.
